Yeah - Foundit on my own.

So, earlier, I tested it, determined it didn't work, did a little research, found out that others had problems too, decided it was pretty clear there was nothing I could do and gave up.
Tonight, my mind wandered back to the new mousepad and I just couldn't understand why a laser mouse wouldn't work on a black aluminum surface. I also didn't understand why some people had trouble with Microsoft laser mice but not other laser mice. I don't know much about the laser technology in mice, but it just didn't make sense to me that they wouldn't work on certain surfaces. I figured the black shouldn't be a problem since surely people have used black surfaces with laser mice before and if it were a problem it would be a fairly well-known issue (and why would black be a problem for a laser?). So I figured it had to be the metal. I also kept thinking about the fact that I couldn't even click the mouse while on the mouse pad. If it were a problem with the laser technology on the mouse, I should still be able to click. So I tried something. I elevated the wireless receiver for the mouse. It now works perfectly. I guess I'm an idiot for not trying this earlier. I didn't give it much thought, just quickly gave up and started playing on my old mouse pad. When the receiver is right next to the mouse pad (inches away) but on the same level, the mouse doesn't work at all. Elevate the receiver, and it works perfectly.
lol

in the interests of balance, I should also mention PokerObserver HUD (currently free beta): http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...d.php?t=110802
AHK HUD thread is here: http://www.pokertracker.com/forums/v...st=0&sk=t&sd=a
latest download link here: http://www.overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/AHK-HUD
There is some crazy AHK in there if you are looking for interesting examples, I'm happy to explain what does what 
There is still lots to do, but imo it beats GT+ - and if you can code SQL (or copy/paste/edit), it is ridiculously powerful

Is there any way to grab lobby text from pokerstars via ahk? Seems that the letters are all different numbers of pixels, which looks problematic. I'd love to work on some sort of anti-buddy list that won't let me load when certain people are in my games. I know that bet pot scrapes the screen for numbers-- i'm wondering if I would have to do this for letters in order to match players to an avoid list. If you can't pull this out of the lobby (i.e., tourney lobby), is there a difference between trying to grab lobby text and the dialog box that pops with the player name and location when you click "player info" within the tourney lobby?
even more so now the fonts can be changed and the lobby resized.Last I checked, we could rip from the player-info dialogs (using WinGetText or similar) , but that may have changed too by now - most dialogs have lost their visible text over the last year's updates
